inside forlorn and deep there waits a wail I give it not life for mine it seeks to take my voice has been stolen my utterances muted in silence it waits a lack of speech its covering for a slow strangulation if given the reigns its potential would quickly overrun me bridled or free roaming there waits a wail forlorn it seeks to take daily I pray the fight against it but honesty insists I admit that my defense is less than halfhearted |

Oh, my friend... this touches me deeply and in many ways... It's a powerful poem... I ache for my friend... and I know the stifling presence of a gag that makes words useless... the wail is more inviting than the fight. *S* Excellent work!!! |

I do, honey. In my own way. I think you and I could write a book... we could entitle it "Gut Soup". |

This was painful to read, but I'm glad that I did...your images are so vivid...forever etched in the readers mind, but I'm sure that is how you intend it...very great write! Take care, Amy "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |
